B&W also an option but it will cost that much more, I will also need to replace D pillars etc.,

time will tell but I'm sure to update this thread with my decision
Where did you get the B&w covers and lights? Our cars are wired for it? PM if needed. Looks

Thank you, LEDs are part of the covers, they come with adapters to connect to our LEDs already existing in the doors for internal LED lighting.
I got the kit from AliExpress, if you need a link to my exact setup PM me and I'll send it to you.

same story here as well, I started mounting front plate after I got a ticket for it few years ago, too bad company I got this mount from doesn't provide solution for quick removal so I could take it off for the pics but it's ok.

couple of news, some ppl are impatient

just dropped wheels for ceramic coating at the same place I did PPF at the beginning of February

while cleaning my car this past weekend I found little trash in the hood ppf decided to show this to the guys, they will be replacing the hood piece and redo the ceramic coating on it, also I will ask them to ppf new side mirror covers while at it.

wheels should be ready by EOD but I most likely will be picking them up tomorrow by EOD

my plan is to install wheels this weekend and install RG Sport's lowering links at the same time.

will update on ppf schedule little later, once the time is set.

I decided to try tire mobile service to mount tires on wheels and balance them this week, I'm very pleased with convenience!

see u guys soon!

EDIT:

couple more news I wanted to share, while at it

1. got my excise tax bill today, oh well, you know what this means right $25 per $1000, count...
2. found the way to get my body kit shipped from Russia (very long story) after being on hold in Turkey for a week or so it arrived to Dubai this week, hoping it will be finally on its way to me in a next few days.

Looks awesome! I’m still shopping for my 2nd set of wheels and I love the look of those. I’m equally digging my 741, so on the fence with where to go??? The lowering links look great as well… may be hitting Ben up soon.

I appreciate it
741 is great style, I'm definitely keeping them with my winter tires for winter season (I might be hitting up Ben again in the fall for the spacers though, I'm thinking 12/15mm or 15/20mm or 15/25mm will work well, 25mm might be little too aggressive for the winter) we'll decide when the time comes.

When I saw these wheels 811M style first time on new M3 I knew these are the wheels I want on my new car, too bad BMW doesn't make them for G05 and even if they did it wouldn't fit flash with the fenders anyway.

Likely I have connections overseas who were able to make me the wheels the way I wanted them, despite logistical nightmares these days
